This is giving me warm vibes, so I’d love to find a theme that is like this. Does anyone know any? I’m using GNOME, but any DE that can pull this off is fine.

Maybe not all that close, but it’s the best I can think of right now.
I think it has the general old school vibe, maybe you could tweak the colors to be a bit brighter like your example?
Love it, thanks!
I’m motivated to try converting my nix-os install from gnome to plasma again
Beautiful
XFCE looks closest shape-wise. it also has the advantage that you can customise it using css.
while not exactly what you’re looking for, DesktopPal97 may be worth looking into as a base for your own theme.
Where did you got this image from? Knowing its origin could help find the source of the theme, if it is at all an existing theme.
Found it on some Japanese image aggregator website, I can’t remember how I came across it, just that I liked it esthetically.
That image seems to be on stock image sites like this one. So it’s just an image. Didn’t see any version that is converted to an actual theme.
I don’t know of a specific theme in the neubrutalism/neobrutalism style (names that are generally used to describe this style or aesthetic), but it shouldn’t be too hard to make.
For anyone unfamiliar it’s generally defined by flat, blocky layouts, with thick borders, single color drop shadows and a few bold high contrast colors (think CGA and EGA monitors if you’re that old). It often features “unpolished” elements like flat simple shapes. Bold fonts and monospace fonts are pretty common.
There are a few resources out there if anyone wants to play around with this style.

I want this so bad. Although in practice I imagine none of this will fit together well with the YouTube interface or with a custom desktop background.
what does fit well with the youtube interface though?
if only they made the thumbnails just a little bit bigger. My monitor still fits 9 of them, tsk tsk
Thank you Tampermonkey, for allowing me to fix the YouTube UI.
Gnome maybe?
HomerOS here we come
It looks like the kind of interface they’d use in classic Pokemon or Stardew Valley. I like the colours.
Are you a bot lmao it looks nothing like lcars
Well, those windows reminded me of this old VLC skin.
And no, not a bot. Just a random internet user.
Suuure
Exactly what a bot would say. It has a very human design.
Very easy to use!
I’m busted I guess. Beep boop.

Oh man, not case sensitive, NOOOOOO!!N
I can see it, but this is a 17 year old Metacity theme, thanks for the effort though :-)
Well that was the quickest random result I had while searching on mobile. Just to pave the way at least :)
I’d suppose if you ask this on KDE Reddit someone with enough time could make something like this with Kvantvm, though the difficult parts would be (1) the web browser theme, and specially (2) the icon theme - I have never ever seen an icon theme like that for Linux
Your answer is $(echo )
I honestly don’t understand what you mean by that.
In bash, $(command) is replaced with output of command when run. This command has no output.
Oh I see, it was intentional. I thought to myself “this has no output, there is nothing”. Well it makes sense now. :D
It would be cool though if it existed.
My guess is that it should infinitely call echo on itself where the
$()substitutes the commandechointo the terminal, which calls it with echo.
Reminds me a bit of the old default Gtk look. Or maybe early Java Swing… The flat look, primary colors, and some other elements to me; it’s very nostalgic. Not sure of any themes that fit it though, sorry, haha
Interesting idea of icons and windows sharing the same plane…
Has anyone not mentioned Openbox yet? Window decorations look like the NeXT style, just colourful.
Possibly easier achieved with a window manager than a desktop.
really nice! I guess it’s a tiling window manager that arranges desktop icons too?
Yellow bars for inputs/dialogs, Blue for general popups(?), orange for errors and file managers, and white for tabbed windows/browsers.
